Onset of Fall Break!

Fall break is approaching and I have a lot of things on my mind right now, a couple of them include obtaining my driver’s permit and moving out with my Mami and Madrina. These things are looking more possible now that I got all of my late work finished before the deadline today, which were from days I was out sick, I feel proud of myself for accomplishing this. It definitely feels like a weight off my shoulders and feel like I can now be able to focus on other things during break.

Communication has been improved I feel since I started public school, the majority of people who have talked to me and with have been nice. It was much different than how it was for me in elementary and middle school, it feels more mature and up to par with how my style is, feels really good honestly. Been a while since I’ve contacted friends I have over the internet since I was caught up and focusing on work. Hoping maybe to talk to em again over break if possible, but if I don’t they’ll know it’s not personal and we’re still cool.

Although, to be honest with all of you, I think I might miss school a bit over break. It’s been a pleasant and amazing experience, I don’t think I’ve ever got this much happy to go to school like this before, there’s so many positive feelings I’m having that probably don’t even have words for them. Perhaps maybe I’ll stroll along town and go to it’s park more often with my Mami and/or Madrina whenever possible, the town is much more beautiful to me every time I go to and from school, it feels like a breath of much needed air to me.

You know, maybe I’ll volunteer here when I graduate from here and have the time to do so, the facility is incredibly nice. Perhaps maybe I’ll even help with networking or hell even become a teacher if I go to college for it! I bet I could be awesome with teaching, just gotta learn really well in college and ace my ACT so I’ll be accepted, I could do anything I set my mind to! Look at me, I’m just pumped up and feeling great, I’m just in awe right now just typing this! I’m think I’m going to miss going here once I graduate from senior year, it’s insane thinking that I’ll be a legal adult by the time I graduate, I’m getting too old!!!

I really want to do good in school, I want to be able to succeed and feel proud of my life, be able and talented to all types of things. Part of me wants to practice stuff I’ll be learning in advance so I can for sure be ready to pass my classes, be able to ace the ACT, prove myself against the odds. I’m probably sounding like a broken record at this point but I’m just so damn happy right now, I feel like my life is heading into the right direction. Sure I’m going to have bumps and slight let downs in parts of the road, but nothing too bad that I’ll fail to succeed, I’m set to pass!

But in the meanwhile, some of the things I’d like to do include taking care of my body misalignment, I got an X-ray the other day and looking forward to the treatments that they would recommend. Hopefully they say I can see a chiropractor or seek physical therapy, I’m slightly fearing that they’ll say surgery but I highly doubt it’ll succumb to that. Plus I look forward to making some more artwork, currently got a color wheel I’m working on for Art II that we were going to finish up after Fall Break, but I decided to maybe work on it some at home since I have some acrylic paints if I’m not mistaken. That aside, I was thinking conducting personal projects alongside it, Furdy’s Maya the Mako Shark is still on my mind. My Mami came up with a really cool idea of her cosplaying Minnie Mouse after seeing my recent sketch of her, which I shared on Twitter, as she said the eyelashes reminded her of Minnie Mouse’s!

Overall, although I’m gonna miss going to school, I still got a lot of cool things to look towards in the upcoming next week when my break begins. I’m feeling really great right now thinking about the future and its positive outlook so far, there’s a really great chance that we’ll be able to achieve our goal of moving out that we’ve been longing to accomplish. In the meantime, I think I might try to relax and write in my journal even more often, much like I’ve been doing recently in this Mead notebook I obtained from Target in another city!

Here’s to great success! salud!

My submission to a calendar art contest

My submission!

Back around in July of this year, I made this in Krita, which would turn out to be a contest submission for featured calendar art.

I’m pretty proud of how this came out, it started out as this simple random sketch on Krita that would turn into this fully fledged digital painting. It’s not Sonic stuff that some of ya were probably anticipating but hope you like nonetheless.

Hello from school!

Currently logged into this blog on a classroom Chromebook, my advisor allowed us to have some free time for a little bit. I haven’t been able to ssh into my laptop at home, I think the school network admin disabled connecting to other servers via ssh on port 22, might need to change the port at home so I can bypass the block.

Also today was picture day and I forgot to shave… well shucks. Oh well, can’t blame myself since my throat was extremely sore again today, doing better now though!

Update: Just returned from lunch and holy molly was that really good, I think I was really hungry, still a bit hungry even. The lunch items I had were beef taco, refried beans, fries, and a banana; all so incredibly delicious, makes me wonder what they serve in the mornings!

Sketches I made during school and I got Strep throat!

The note at the bottom was for a classmate who had to communicate in sign language and was temporarily deaf at the time, reassuring her I’ll do better as much as possible if this happens again.
Abstract art of sorts, often seen in this collection of sketches.
Vocab word listing I made to help myself write them down, this whole layout developed on its’ own and I enjoy the look of it, maybe I’ll try to recreate this as a theme for my blog!
Ideas for Art 2’s hallway bulletin board.
More ideas for the bulletin board.
These were so fun to do!!!

I thought I’d share these sketches I’ve made during school, considering I’m gonna be out for rest of the week due to Strep throat, so I thought might as well!

Also context on why I’m out from school temporarily; my mamí got emailed from the school, notifying her that I’ve been in direct contact with a student who tested positive for Covid. Thankfully I already have all my Covid shots plus boosters, but I did notice my throat got sore yesterday and the other day. Went to a walk in clinic today to get my test for Covid, which turned out to be negative thank goodness, but they were seeing something in my throat and decided to test for Strep. Lo and behold, I was positive for strep, which really stinks, but thankfully I’ll be able to return to school on Monday with the help of antibiotics I got prescribed.

Wish me luck and best of wishes to all of ya! 😉

I’m able to go back to public school!

Didn’t get it done today, but we did get a callback stating we’re able to go, yay!

Btw, there was this really nice girl, about my age, who let me have a seat next to her while waiting for the counselor to see me and mami, which really made my day. She was super cute too, should’ve gotten her name, but I hope to see her again in school, looking forward to doing something for her in return! 💚

Heading back to public high school in person

It sounds possibly fun and stressful at the same time…

There’s lots of effing complicated factors about why, but the main reason is back in 2020, the school attempted to make me go to in person learning, since I was doing remote and was behind, plus the year was 2020, Covid was at a high peak where they were. There was no way I was going to put myself in danger of Covid then, there weren’t even vaccines yet for my age; because even if I wore a mask, everyone was likely to go maskless, since my state’s idiotic governor thought it should “be the parents’ decision to let their child have a mask or not”, even though the CDC heavily stated everyone needs to. It was then my family decided to go through an online school in order to avoid this risk, which worked out okay, honestly I was lagging behind a bit, but was able to obtain a good GPA still thankfully.

Now that I’m out of that, we thought I could maybe go back to public now that Covid is somewhat eased up, I feel much more safer now that I got the vaccine (thank goodness for them). The only sort of problem was that the school told us I couldn’t come back, but would later learn that was complete BS, as my psychologist informed that it’s in fact illegal for a school to tell you that or reject you.

There’s just a lot of fear I’m having about going back recently, and I was more positively looking at it a few months back, mostly uncertainty I would describe it as. I feel that if I go off and attempt to list reasons of why, I’d probably type garbled nonsense, so I’ll leave at uncertainty. It feels like the clock is ticking to my breaking point, it just feels like odds are pressing against me at the hardest pressure, a lot of them being personal.

Maybe I’m just too fearful, might not be too bad, going to do my best nonetheless.

Today was a great day for my art

Maya Wip I did today and she’s lookin’ really good!

The WIP featured here was done in GIMP, I figured I try it for a change, after all, it has a good rep with artists, as far as I know.

This also is from the perspective of 3 days ago, since I didn’t finish this post in time.

Today was unexpected for me in a way, I’m gonna recap this as best as I can, soooooo here goes!

My Mami was asleep for the most of the day, I played a slot machine like game on the stereo system, and spent most of the day on art!

Btw, yes, you heard right about that slot machine game on the stereo system lol.

Although I didn’t necessarily plan out the day, my art became the main focus on it’s own. It started off with this painting in Krita I did, which I’m keeping a surprise hehe, intended as an entry for a calendar feature photo. It’s been in the works for mostly this week and last, with it being on the back burner for about a month, with the near end result looking incredibly pretty.

But as for that piece, I will reveal that as a surprise if it makes it, if not, then you’ll see it here most definitely. However, I do present to you a WIP of Furdy’s Maya the Mako Shark, as seen above. In this, you can see Maya rocking a pair of boxing gloves, a sports bra, and sports shorts.

So all in all, it’s very cool how today led me to my art, hope you enjoy! 😉

Man of the house

My grandpa went to the airport a couple weeks ago, with his goal set on visiting some family members back in Mexico, thus I am the title as of now for approximately two weeks. My main responsibility is to take care of the animals (including the cats, dogs, horse, and chickens), there’s probably lots more to list, but that’s the major one.

I feel that I got this down, that I can do everything with comfort, without anxiety of getting it wrong. To help myself out, I took a video recording of my grandpa demonstrating how to feed the animals, serving as a reference.

For the most part, I’ve been on point, but a there’s a few days where I got up late though. However I’m going to correct upon it via setting multiple alarms for whenever I happen to oversleep a little. Fingers crossed that it works out!

Along side that, I picked up inspiration the other day to record myself feeding the animals outside, did it once, but was rather nice! I appreciated how I looked on video, not in a selfish way, I looked great. That also reminds me how I lost weight over these weeks, like a crazy ton, it completely flew by me and didn’t noticed until my godmother and mami pointed out.

I got this yo!

Long blog posts

Something I want to do, but haven’t been really able to do yet, same kinda goes for my journal entries. Yep, that’s right, I’m getting straight up meta right now, and I’m not talking about the company. To put it short, I want share more insightful posts in the future, although I’m fully aware I’m not completely obligated to do longer posts since no one isn’t controlling me.

That’ll be all for now, thanks for readin’! 😉
